A substantial and intact early 19th century stable block with some Gothic detailing and good interiors, situated close to Hillhouse and forming an integral part of the estate. The stable fittings probably date from about 1880 and are similar to those at Dalmakerran and Duncow, both in Dumfries and Galloway (both listed). The vehicle shelter canopy on the east side is first shown on the 3rd Edition Ordnance Survey map (1907-9).
Hillhouse, built in the 18th century and extended in the 19th, is listed separately.
